Description : Why might the audience find Malvolio funny and laugh at him?
Last Answer : Watch any reasonably competent actor playing the part and you will know. Get hold of a copy of Act 2 Scene 5, with Malvolio played by Richard Briers, or Nigel Hawthorne, or Alex Guinness, or Michael Maloney ... he is asking for a swift kick in the pants, and Maria, Toby et al are happy to deliver.
